Michael Lavine/FOX(NEW YORK) -- Washington Irving's classic tale The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is the basis for a new drama premiering on Fox Monday night.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen actor Tom Mison plays Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod has been brought into modern times, and he struggles to adapt to the changes that have taken hold of the titular town in recent centuries.

Nevertheless, Ichabod joins a young cop in a hunt for the Headless Horseman, who is back to unleash more terror upon Sleepy Hollow.

Sleepy Hollow, which was created by two of the writers of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek films, airs at 9 p.m. Eastern time, after the ninth-season premiere of Bones.
